As noted above, you will need the required permit, or only hunt during regular rifle openings (by & large).
Excalibur makes the best recurve out there.
They also carry the best warranty in the business - bar none.
Easy to work on (no need for a press), accurate as hell, and tougher than nails.
If you are serious, one can find many of their used products from the past few years listed on their own forum's buy & sell (
http://www.excaliburcrossbow.com/phpBB3/ ) or the same at such sites as Archery Talk: (
https://www.archerytalk.com/vb/forumdisplay.php?f=362 ).
700 clams is actually a good starting point for many of those bows.
BTW - the warranty follows the bow, not the owner.
These bows are really tough, I have bought several used ones with no hesitation.
And would again were I seeking another.
Good luck with your decision.
If you need / want further advice, feel free to pm...
